IIEST Shibpur - history at a glance

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur owes its origin to the
erstwhile Bengal Engineering College, the history of which goes to the nineteenth century
when industries in the sense we understand today, were practically absent. Prompted by the
idea of meeting requirement of trained engineering personnel for the Public Works
Department, the then council of Education, Bengal, decided to open Civil Engineering
classes and a Professorship in Civil Engineering was created at Hindu College, Calcutta, in
the year 1843-44. A College of Engineering was started by the name of Civil Engineering
College on 24th November, 1856, in the premises of the Writers Building, Calcutta.
With the establishment of Calcutta University on January 24, 1857, the college was
affiliated to this university in May 1857. The first-degree examination in Bachelors of Civil
Engineering was held in 1864 in which only 2 students graduated. In 1865, the college
merged with Presidency College, Calcutta and from 1865 to 1869 the college functioned as
the Civil Engineering Department of Presidency College. In 1880, the college was shifted to
its present campus at Shibpur, Howrah, and was christened the 'Government College,
Howrah,' in the premises of Bishop's College. It started imparting training in Civil as well
as Mechanical Engineering. The college became wholly residential from the year 1889.
In 1921, the name of the college was changed to 'Bengal Engineering College' (popularly
known as B.E.College). During 1921-43, the various departments of the college were
reorganized on the recommendation of the 'Mukherjee Committee' under the Chairmanship
of Sir R.N. Mukherjee, one of the most distinguished ex-students of the college. The first
batch of students in Mechanical Engineering appeared in the degree examination in 1932.
The degree course in Electrical Engineering was introduced during 1935-36 and that in
Metallurgical Engineering in 1939. The department of Humanities started in 1945, Applied
Mechanics in 1947, and Architecture, Town and Regional Planning department in 1949.
With the end of Second World War, the necessity of further expansion and the development
of the college was felt and a 'Committee for the development of Higher Engineering and
Technical Education in Bengal' under the Chairmanship of the Director of Public
Instruction recommended two plans - one 'Immediate' and the other 'Five Year Plan' for the
college. Under the 'Immediate' plan the committee made recommendations regarding the
increase of student strength from 300 to 520, an improved curriculum, better teaching staff,
a greater range of degree courses and a close liaison with industry. The objective of the
'Five Year Plan' was to upgrade the college to the status of a modern and well-equipped
institution with facilities for postgraduate study and research.
A new building was constructed in the year 1949 and all academic departments were moved
to the new building. In 1954, postgraduate courses in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and
Metallurgical were introduced. A postgraduate certificate course in Naval Architecture was
also introduced during this period. Doctoral programs were also introduced at this time and
approved by Calcutta University to enhance research activities (which started as far back as
1901) in the college. During 1954-55, an agreement was concluded by this college and the
University of Wisconsin, USA, whereby six guest professors from the USA joined the
college and in exchange, five teachers from the college went to the USA as Research
Associate. This scheme, known as Technical Co-operation Programme of the USA, helped
the college in developing laboratories, postgraduate programmes and research facilities.
The college celebrated its gala centenary function inaugurated by Dr. B.C. Roy on the 25th
of December 1956 and PanditJawarlal Nehru graced concluding session on 14th January
1957. The department of Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering was sanctioned in
1956. The department of Mining Engineering started functioning in 1956. The introduction
of a Teachers' Training course during 1959-60 was a noteworthy event. The college started
its first Computer Centre in 1976-77 and a Microprocessor Laboratory in this centre in
1979. The 125th Anniversary of the college was celebrated in December 11, 1981, with
inauguration by Sri N. Sanjiva Reddy, the then President of India.

10
In 1982, a new degree course in Computer Science & Technology was started and with
modernization of the facilities, this department started offering the Master of Engineering
courses in 1988 and Master of Computer Applications courses in 1991.
The college was selected as a participating institute under the World Bank EIDP Project and
an endowment in theamount of Rs. 200,000,000 was received for upgrading the teaching
facilities and laboratories in the Electronics and Computer Science Departments. An E-mail
facility was offered by the DOE under this project through which the university can have
install access to information super highway.
The alumni of the college have occupied or are occupying top positions in various national
and international organizations. In recognition of its yeoman's service to the nation for 143
years of its existence with its well organized infrastructure, the college was elevated to the
status of a "Deemed University" in 1992 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development,
Government of India on the recommendation of a UGC Expert Committee. As a result, Dr.
SankarDayal Sharma, the President of India, inaugurated the University in March 1993.
In 2004, B.E. College (Deemed University) was converted into a full-fledged university by
an act in the West Bengal Assembly and renamed as Bengal Engineering and Science
University, Shibpur. In addition to the tradition engineering disciplines, the university
started M.Sc curriculum in basic sciences.
In March 2014, Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur was taken over by the
Government of India and converted into an Institute of National Importance through an act
of parliament and renamed as Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology,
Shibpur.
The Second Oldest Engineering College in India
The Roorkee Engineering College established in the year 1847 AD and recognized as the
first Engineering College in India. The Government Engineering College, Pune established
in the year 1854. The Bengal Engineering College established in the year 1856. The first
batch of degree course in Civil Engineering turned out in 1912 from Pune Engineering
College whereas the first batch in Civil Engineering passed out from B.E.College, in the
year 1864. Therefore, if we consider the year of establishment the B.E.College will be the
third engineering college in India. However, considering the year of graduation our
B.E.College stands as the 2nd oldest Engineering College in India. Please find enclosed the
relevant documentary evidence from the University Website for your ready reference.
"The Govt. College of Engineering, Pune, which was established in the year 1854 is one of
the oldest and premier engineering institutions in the country. Initially it started as the
Poona Engineering class & Mechanical school to train subordinate officers for carrying out
public work. Later the school became Poona Civil Engineering College and subsequently in
the year 1911 the name was changed to the College of Engineering, Poona popularly known
as COEP. The first batch of degree course in Civil Engineering turned out in 1912. Degree
courses in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering were introduced in 1914 and
1932.
Roorkee College was Establish in 1847 AD as the first Engineering College in the British
Empire. The College was renamed as THOMASON COLLEGE OF CIVIL
ENGINEERING in 1854. It was given the status of a University by Act No. IX of 1948 of
U.P., Govt. in recognition of its performance and its potential and keeping in view the needs
of post-independent INDIA.Pt. JawaharLal Nehru, the first Prime Minester of India,
presented the Charter in November 1949 elevating the erstwhile college to the first
Engineering University of independent India."

About the Department

The University started its journey with the Department of Civil Engineering in 1856. Civil
Engineering College, as the University was known at that time, began with ten students and
two teachers in Civil Engineering with the objective of producing finest Civil Engineers in
the country. Now, more than 157 years‘ old, Department of Civil Engineering remains the
premier department of this University. During these years, the department has produced
Civil Engineers who contributed immensely in shaping the pre- and post-independence
India. Feeling the need of research and development, it started Master of Engineering in
Civil Engineering programme in 1954. Currently it offers Master of Engineering and PhD
programmes in five specializations: Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering,
Structural Engineering, Highway and Traffic Engineering and Water Resources
Engineering. Apart from teaching and research it is also actively engaged sponsored
projects and industrial consultancy at national and international levels. At the societal level,
the department has developed and successfully implemented technology solutions that
helped thousands of rural people in getting pollution free water and thus living safely.

Vision and Mission of the Department
VISION
To be recognized globally for excellence in academic programs and innovative, applied and
socially relevant research
MISSION
To provide the students with a firm foundation of both the theory and practice of Computer
Science and Technology through a comprehensive undergraduate and post-graduate
curricula, and to strengthen creativity, nurture innovation, and develop the ability to carry
out research and solve real -world problems.

About the department

The Department of Computer Science and Technology (CST), established in 1982, is the
2nd youngest of the ten Engineering departments in the institution. The CST department,
since its inception, has maintained a steady growth in every sphere of its activities and
played an important role in bringing a vibrant and forward looking academic environment
within the University. It is a premier department offering high quality undergraduate and
postgraduate engineering courses as well as providing an excellent infrastructure and
facilities for advanced research and consultancy.

The importance of introducing a separate discipline on Computer Science and Technology


was felt back in mid 70s. To serve the growing need of manpower with specialization in
Computer Design and Applications a proposal to start the new discipline was submitted to
MHRD and the approval was obtained in 1981. The new department started functioning
from within the Electrical Engineering department and admitted the first batch of Bachelor
of Engineering (BE) students in July 1982 and a separate CST department came into
existence in August 1984. In January 1988 Master of Computer Application (MCA) course
was introduced; the first in Eastern region. The full time Master of Engineering (ME)
course in Computer Science and Technology started from July 1992. The department
conferred its first Ph D degree in January 1999.

This department has been accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) as 'A'
grade department for 5 years (1999-2004). The department is also acquired ISO 9000
certification in 1999-2000. The department was DST-FIST sponsored in 2004. More
recently, in 2012 the department was ranked at 10 in a nationwide survey conducted by
Silicon India.

The Department

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur(Formerly Bengal Engineering and
Science University,Shibpur) and the subject Geology possess a century old relationship. Many
eminent geoscientists have offered their teaching and research expertise in the past. Previously
teaching in geology was introduced in this university to meet the need of the would be engineering
graduates only in Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering branches.
The science streams have emerged as an integral part of the university offering postgraduate degrees
from 2001. The Department of Geology, however, has started to offer independent postgraduate
courses in geology after its separate identity as a science department from 2005. In 2011, name of
the department has been changed to the Department of Earth Sciences to hold an umbrella to
develop teaching and research in various disciplines of geology, geophysics, atmospheric and
planetary sciences.

The Department of Earth Sciences is dedicated to improve the understanding of the solid earth, its
geotechnical and other applied aspects through teaching, research and field training programme.
Students are being trained by permanent and eminent visiting faculties of diverse fields of geology,
involved in frontier areas of research like sedimentology, basin tectonics, mineralogy,
geochronology, tectonothermal evolution, hydrogeology and paleontology etc. The Master degree
programme of the department has a modern and updated syllabus to cope up with the need of the
hour and aims to prepare students for a broad range of geoscientific careers which includes
petroleum or mineral exploration, natural hazard mitigation and geoscientific activities in different
universities and research institutes. Students are able to find employment in mining companies,
petroleum industries and various corporate houses.

About the department
STEM discourses are evolutionary, social and cultural unfolding. Hence, they form an
integral part of the historical accumulation of knowledge.

Opening the minds of the initiated before and beyond engineering and technology is
extremely important ; not only to generate a sense of relief from the drudgery of quantity
but also to develop analytical and exploratory competence in a dynamic world. The
exposure to literature, economy, conditioned human behaviour and management, sensitize
the young hearts to be responsive to the division of real need and manufactured needs.

Precisely for these ends the Department of HSS is continuously striving to achieve these
objectives for seven long decades notwithstanding several imposed limitations and change
in perspectives.

Academic Programmes:
Core Courses
The Department teaches several core courses to all undergraduate students. These are :

Semester 1 &2 Professional Communication in English


Semester 3& 4 Principles of Management & Industrial Sociology
Semester 5& 6 Economics

Introduction

The Department of Information Technology started its journey in the year 2000. It is one of the
youngest departments of this 159 years old Institute. The department has produced excellent IT
engineers who are serving in different reputed organizations and pursuing higher studies at
Institutes of Excellence in India and abroad. The department provides state-of-the-art
computational facilities for the students. The strength of the department has been in its diverse
areas of research in which it has a remarkable contribution.

Academic Programmes

Undergraduate Level

B.E. in Information Technology: The B.E. program is a four-year course oriented undergraduate
program. The course work is spread across all the semesters. The courses include a set of core
courses offered by the department, a set of departmental electives and some free electives. Apart
from these, a student must complete three courses in his / her minor area. The minor area must be
different from Information Technology. Besides, a student must also complete a project in fourth
th th
year (7 – 8 semester) towards the fulfillment of the degree requirements.

Postgraduate Level

M.E. in Information and Communication Engineering: The M.E. program is a two-year course
oriented graduate program. The student has to take a set of core courses and a set of electives.
The course work is spread across the first two semesters with an option of taking one elective in
the third semester. This is followed by a project in the third and fourth semester in which the
student can take up a project of his / her interest, supervised by a faculty member.

Doctoral Level

PhD in Information Technology: The PhD. programs are postgraduate research oriented
programs. The scholar works in an area of his/her interest under the supervision of a faculty
member. The scholar has to obtain a minimum number of credits by taking courses. The highlight
of the program is the independent research work taken by a scholar, leading to a dissertation at
the end of the program. The average duration of a PhD. program is between four to five years.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT:

The Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering started its journey at the Bengal
Engineering College in 1939 as Department of Metallurgy, Chemistry and Geology with the
introduction of a three year degree course in Metallurgy under Calcutta University. Bengal
Engineering College is one of the oldest engineering institutions in India and the department
is the second oldest Metallurgy department of the country. The duration and syllabus of the
course changed time to time and the name of the department also changed to Metallurgy
and Materials Engineering keeping pace with the advancement in the field of materials.
Presently the last three batches of 4-year 8-semester course for B.E. degree in Metallurgy
and Materials Engineering are going to pass out and the first batch of students have been
admitted in the 5-year 10-semester Dual degree (B.Tech. + M.Tech.) programs.
In 1953 the Department introduced the 2-year Postgraduate degree programme in
Physical Metallurgy which, after changes time to time, is presently a 4-semester course at
the All India level offering the degree in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering with
specialization in Physical Metallurgy, which was the first postgraduate course in metallurgy
in this country.
Prof. N. N. Sen who later became Principal of the College, was the first Professor
and Head of the then Department of Metallurgy, Chemistry and Geology which
subsequently separated in 1965 and the Department of Metallurgy started journey on its
own.
In 1949, Prof. W. Baukhloh of Techniche Hach Schule, Berlin joined the
Department as a Professor of Metallurgy and many foreign trained faculties joined the
Department during this long period. There was a spurt in the research activity in the
Department since 1949 particularly after Dr. A. K. Seal joined the Department in 1955 after
completing his Ph. D. in Sheffield University.
In 2000, the department started a 5 semester self sponsored part time post graduate
course in Industrial Metallurgy on approval from AICTE in 1999 with intake strength of 15
plus reservation as per rules, which subsequently converted to a 6-semester course. Till date
the course is catering the metallurgy / mechanical engineers with B. E. degree plus a
minimum of 2 years experience with the aspiration of getting post graduate degree and
classes are being held in the evening after working hours and on holidays. The department
was the only one to introduce such a course in the field of Metallurgy against a circular
from AICTE in 1995 seeking to open such courses.
Over the years the Department has produced a good number of eminent
metallurgists working with distinction in India and abroad who have made significant
contribution in the fields of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. The Department has, so

227
far, produced good number of Ph. Ds, and several Ph. D. programs are running in the
Department.
This Department always tries to remain abreast with the recent trends in the fields of
Metallurgy and Materials Engineering and evolve suitable means for effective technology
transfer to the existing industries. The Department has already pioneered in the
development of certain important steels and alloys like HSLA steels, maraging steels, shape
memory alloys etc. These developments have had a tremendous impact on the total
development of the subject in the national scenario and by this it has contributed
significantly to the cause of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering of India today. In spite
of inadequate resources the Department has achieved academic distinction which is
observed from its good number of alumni holding many important positions around the
globe. All efforts have been successful solely due to excellent interaction with industries,
institutions and research houses created by a band of devoted faculty members. The
department feels proud to announce its collaborative ventures with organisations like
TISCO, SAIL, ISRO, BARC, NML, ICDC, NMRL, INSDAG and many others.
The Department is now actively engaged in modernizing the existing laboratories
along with the development of newer ones in accordance with the current trends in
Metallurgy and Materials Engineering for which it has received aids as well as in the form
of Sponsored Research Grants from various sources for further consolidating the
undergraduate and postgraduate training and research and maintain the tradition as one of
the leading centers for metallurgical education and research in the country. During the
Golden Jubilee celebration of the Department in 1989-1990, M/s. M. N. Dastur & Co.
showed its affection towards the Department by advancing funds for Research on Materials
Science and Engineering. Further, Tata Steel Chair Professor was instituted during the same
year by an endowment of Tata Steel to lead advanced research and consultancy work.
Ministry of Steel, Govt. of India introduced Steel Chair Professor and this department is
also a beneficiary of this scheme.
The Department to-day is thus in a position to undertake various advanced research
and consultancy work in various field, to fulfill the vision of those who were pioneer in
establishing and in nurturing the Department. A vigorous Ph. D. programs continues in the
Department and presently about 20 numbers of Ph. D. candidates are pursuing their Ph. D.
programs. Faculty members of the Department also received awards, medals, fellowships
from Government of India and other professional bodies. Some faculty members are also
pursuing collaborative programs with foreign universities.

About the department
Mining and Agriculture are the two oldest professions of mankind. But, notwithstanding the
emphasis made by Koutilya (Arthasastra; c. 300 – 250 BC), Georgius Agricola (de Re Metallica;
1556), and a few other philosophers, its advent as a scientific discipline was rather delayed. The
situation was more conspicuous in India where coal mines were opened up in 1774 but mining
education started more than a century later, in 1906, at this institute (the then Bengal Engineering
College). Meanwhile it was felt, - amongst others by the Indian National Congress -, that a School
of Mines be established in India in the model of the Royal School of Mines, London. The desire was
transformed into reality with the establishment of Indian School of Mines (ISM) in 1926 at Dhanbad
and B E College stopped imparting mining education. As such the department was closed and all its
scientific and human resources were transferred to ISM Dhanbad.
However post independence period witnessed a purposeful thrust on mining sector. A consequential
fall out was the re-establishment of the Department of Mining and Geology at Bengal Engineering
College Shibpur in 1956.
Ever since its re-establishment, the mining engineering department has been catering to the quality-
manpower needs of the mining industry. Important milestones covered by the department include,
inter-alia, the following:
As on date academic course run by the department are: BE(Mining Engineering); Integrated dual
(BTech/MTech) degree programme in mining engineering and regular 4 semester (a) ME
programme in Mining Engineering and (b) MTech programme in Geo-informatics. Over the years
the department has built up advance research capabilities in almost all the sub-disciplines of Mining
Engineering. Ever since the institute was elevated to a deemed-university, the department has been
undertaking regular academic and sponsored research programmes. In the recent past several
cutting-edge avant-garde research projects have been completed by the department. Of late several
outreach services have been extended to the user agencies. Based on its infrastructure and human
resource potential the department has identified a few major thrust areas for pursuing top-notch
research.

About the department

The department of Physics has a century old past and has come through the
era of revolutionary thoughts in the world of physics to the present century of
technological revolution. As far back in 1926, Prof. Satyendra Nath Bose and Prof.
Meghnad Saha , then post graduate students of Calcutta University used to come to
this department to study original works of Max. Planck and Albert Einstein. Our
library was so rich even at that time under the able leadership of Prof. Bruhl. They
also used to do their M.Sc. practical in the laboratory of this physics department. An
unforgettable name in the history of the department is Prof. S.S. Boral, who initiated
the course on Electronics and Telecommunications which itself finally branched out
to be one of the advanced engineering department of the university. Our department
can justifiably feel proud of eminent teachers like Prof. P.K. Chattopadhyay, Prof.
B.R. Gupta, Prof. N.C. Mukherjee, Prof. M. Mitra and others who taught the
undergraduate engineering students of B.E. College and made a strong base for their
further studies. Our present faculty members are also faithfully tracing their paths.
The year 2000 was a landmark for our department when the M.Sc. course in
Applied Physics was introduced. New faculty members started joining the
department, having expertise in modern thrust areas of physics and related
technology. On the one hand, theoretical works are being pursued in the field of
Nuclear and High energy physics and Atomic and Molecular physics; on the other
hand in view of latest technological advancement, different studies are carried out
in the field of Fiber Optics, Electroceramics, Spectroscopy of Laser and
Luminescent materials, Transport phenomena in solids, Synthesis of Nanomaterials
by sol gel route and their characterization, Silicon nanostructure based : Light
emitters, Detectors, Sensors, Plasma bio-medical application, carbon nanotubes,
graphene etc. At the same time, experimental works are undertaken creating a rich
environment of advanced research. In the last five years the faculty members of the
department have contributed more than 100 research papers in international journals
of repute and international conference proceedings. Many of our students are
engaged in research and some of them are also in scientific jobs in various premier
research institutions of India, such as SINP, IACS, TIFR, BARC, IPR, CGCRI etc.
A considerable number of them are pursuing Ph.D. programme in the department
itself.

Department of Student Activity

A Brief History:

NITSER Act was passed in the Parliament on 4th March, 2014 thereby transforming
Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur to Indian Institute of Engineering Science and
Technology, Shibpur, an Institute of National Importance and thus the nature of activity undertaken
by the department facing more challenges due to size and nature of students being more
cosmopolitan. A lot of students where admitted from outside the state whose messing and other
requirements were different from that of the existing students. Although, the department has a rich
tradition of providing proper hostel and fooding facility for the residents of the states but change in
nature of students meant changes in food habits, culture and nature of boarders and the department
had to adopt with it. The Proctorial Department as established in 1956 on the recommendation of the
review committee of erstwhile Bengal Engineering College in 1953 had adequate experience and
expertise to cope up with the changing objectives of the Institute which includes improving the
personal qualities of students and taking care of discipline, welfare and extra-curricular activities of
the students. The department which was later renamed as the department of Students Activities with
the re-designation of the proctor in 1985 to Professor-in-charge of Students Activities. After
becoming IIEST on March, 2014 the post of Professor in-Charge of Students Activities got
abolished and Dean of Students Affairs directly looked after the administrative and other matters of
the department i.e. the department now function under the direct supervision of Dean of Students.

Functions:
Broadly the department looks after the following specific works:
1. Supervise all matters relating to students welfare, discipline and extra-curricular
activities including sports and games.
2. Exercise general supervision of all hostels and ensure proper running of the
messes and observation of rules by the boarders.
3. Allotment of students to different Halls and Hostels in the respective academic
sessions.
4. Exercise general supervision of the Athletic Club and activities of various
sections of games and sports.
5. Any other duties as may be assigned by the Vice-Chancellor.

Halls & Messes:


At present the total student strength of this institute is about 4500. There are 17
Halls/Hostels including two for UG and PG girls‘ students and one exclusively for Girls Research
Scholars. Each Halls /Hostels is under the direct supervision of a Warden selected from members of
the faculty/officer. Hostels Messes are supervised by the respective mess committee.

Sports Board:- The University has a Sports Board and has got the facilities for almost all the
Outdoor and Indoor games. There has been a MOU between IIEST Shibpur and CAB to maintain &
develop Lords & Oval playgrounds as suitable for playing national level tournaments. CAB shall be
providing coaches for all round development and improvement of skills of our students. The
Institution has other sports events like Tennis, Volleyball, Badminton Court (Concrete), Basketball
(hard court) and a well equipped gymnasium. The University also possesses an International
Standard Swimming Pool for usage of all the communities attached with university system. The
University recently developed a recreational centre (R.N.Mukherjee Students Amenity Centre) for
the students and also a Yogic practice arena for the students, financially supported by two illustrious
alumnus of this institution.

In recent past, the GAABESU contributed a lot in developing the sporting facilities in the
department. They initiated suitable steps for renovation of the University Swimming Pool as
National Standard as well as the University Gymnasium with latest equipments and apparatus.

Sports Training:
The physical instructors are really interested to develop a sporting culture among the students (both
boys and girls) for their future endeavor. The scientific training procedure for development of sports
performances of the students in different sporting events are being initiated for last 10 years or so.
The natural talents of the students are being nurtured by the expertise sports science instructors. The
instructors are also given opportunities to grab the latest knowledge in sports and allied exercise
sciences for the development of the students.

National Service Scheme:


The University also initiated the extension programme like NSS among the students to develop their
social character by helping the poorest of the poor citizens of the locality. Students of this Institute
teach them with great care and attention. They are encouraged to attend the learning programmes
regularly. Exercise books, copies, pen, pencil, erasers are distributed on ―No charge basis‖.
Students are encouraged to attend programmes of NSS. Local people have been considerably
motivated by this approach of the scheme .By extending their hands to educate the people of the
274
slum areas of the society in the form of various awareness programmes (like use of clean water, aids
awareness including free medical assistance.
Recently, the NSS unit organized a garment distribution programme and also organized a Voluntary
Blood Donation camp in the University campus.

About the School
Bengal Engineering & Science University, Shibpur has a fairly long tradition of rendering
community service in a modest manner besides conducting academic programme.
Community service rendered by the faculty members consists of formulation and
implementation of specific programme of technology innovation and technology transfer to
the Rural Sector. In response to the demand for proper co-ordination and integration of such
activities of the faculty at University level, School of Community Science & Technology
(SOCSAT) was created in 2004 at University for facilitating the development and growth of
the unorganized sector in our country.

The objective of the school is to foster sustainable development of different marginalized


communities by empowering stakeholders with inputs from institutionalized Science &
Technology Community.

The school since then made significant progress in the frontier areas of basic and applied
research in juxtaposition with various training programmes that are congruous with the
objectives of the school. In this respect various science awareness programmes, several
training programme on Advanced Pottery, Metal Art, Batik, Jute diversification including
Advance Food Processing & Preservation Technology were organized by this school. The
objectives of these programmes are to impart training to the marginalized people especially
women Self-Help Groups of Howrah district in order to promote technology and create
entrepreneurship. The training on food processing will improve the technical skills and
knowledge in the processing of fruits and vegetables to the women of the rural areas and to
take up income generating activities. As a result, two SHGs named Suktara and Prayas
comprising those women were formed in Howrah District with the initiative of this School.
In this backdrop, the Academic Council of the University approved a four semester M.Sc.
Course on ―Food Processing& Nutrition Science‖ which had been started from the
Academic session (2007-2008). Around 100 students obtained MSc degree from this
University under this course and placed in the Food Processing industries, R&D
organization in food sectors, Academic institutes involved in R&D activities including PhD
programmes and the Food analysis laboratories.

Besides above Government of India’s Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) scheme,


The Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE),Kolkata, a Govt. of India
undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, entrusted SOCSAT with a CSR project to
impart ―Skill development/Vocational Training to the unemployed youth around the locality
in Metiabruz, Kolkata‖ where the GRSE plant is situated. The objective of the proposed
279
programme is to appropriately train the unemployed youth for their employment in
appropriate trade and /or to enable them to start entrepreneurship.

Name of Few words Pictures
Equipment
Twin Screw Twin screw extrusion is
Extruder used extensively for
mixing, compounding, or
reacting polymeric
materials. The flexibility
of twin screw extrusion
equipment allows this
operation to be designed
specifically for the
formulation being
processed. The
configurations of the
screws themselves may
be varied using forward
conveying elements,
reverse conveying
elements, kneading

in order to achieve
particular mixing
characteristics.

281
Centrifuge In Centrifuges the
centrifugal force is
mechanically generated
by turning the equipment
containing the fluid in a
circular path causing the
fluids to separate. This
method has been used in
the laboratories and
primitive industries for
over a century. It has
mainly been used to
separate fluids in static
state, i.e., specific
volumes which needed to
be separated.

Vacuum Tray Under the condition of


Drier vacuum, the boiling point
of raw material will
decrease and make the
pushing force become
greater. Therefore for a
certain amount of heat
radiation, the conducting
area of evaporator can be
saved. The heat source
for operation of
evaporation may be low
pressure steam or surplus
heat steam. The heat loss
of evaporator is less.
During the period of
drying, there is no
impurity material mixing.
It belongs to static drier.
So the shape of raw
material to be dried can
not be destroyed.

282

Colorimeter A device used
in colorimetry. In
scientific fields the word
generally refers to the
device that measures
the absorbance of
particular
wavelengths of light by a
specific solution. This
device is most commonly
used to determine
the concentration of a
known solute in a given
solution by the
application of the Beer-
Lambert law, which
states that the
concentration of a solute
is proportional to the
absorbance.

285
Microscope An instrument used to see
objects too small for the
naked eye. The science of
investigating small
objects using such an
instrument is
called microscopy. Micro

About the department

Dr. M. N. Dastur School of Materials Science and Engineering started functioning


since 2001 as a multidisciplinary educational and research centre with a vision to
create a vibrant, supportive community of materials scientists and engineers
committed to expand fundamental understanding of materials, develop advanced
technologies, and provide leadership through education and innovative research
geared to meet the current and future needs of society. The School is an integral part
of Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur and aims at
providing an ideal environment for interdisciplinary teaching and research.

Since its inception the School has embarked on several programmes to facilitate
fundamental developments in the physics and chemistry of materials alongside
applications in manufacturing processes and engineering design. Over these years, its
central function has been imparting education to postgraduate students by providing
them with the opportunity to conduct independent and creative research at the
forefront of materials science and engineering. The School offers a full time M.Tech.
Programme on Materials Science and Technology, with specialization on Materials
Design and Application and has a concrete plan for introducing a four year post-B.Sc.
integrated M.Tech. programme on Materials Science.

The School started its modest journey in 2001 with extremely limited facilities which
included a furnace and few computers. Ever since then, the faculty members, research
scholars and the staff members of the School have worked relentlessly to develop new
facilities and infrastructure through sponsored projects and with the assistance of the
erstwhile University. In the brief span of 12 years we have been able to develop major
experimental facilities for synthesis/fabrication and characterization of materials, including
a high resolution transmission electron microscope. Till date 24 scholars have been
awarded their doctoral degree and more that 120 scholars have received their M.Tech
degree from the School.
The School has several sponsored projects funded by different funding organizations like
DST, MoS, GoI, UGC, etc. and have been able to develop collaborations with some leading
material scientists and their groups both at the national as well as at the international level.

321
Additionally, the Schools activities are closely linked with leading industries like Tata
Steel and M. N. Dastur Company. Recently the School has signed a memorandum of
agreement with M. N. Dastur Company, who has agreed to provide generous support for
up gradation of the School.

What started as an insignificant centre with a furnace, dilapidated furniture and few
computers in 2001 has now emerged as a centre that is starting to make modest
footprints in the international materials research community.

About the School

The beginning of this century is marked with multi disciplinary technological advancement which
has not only revolutionized Indian and global industrial market but also has put an impact on
engineering education system. IIEST Shibpur responded to the changed technological scenario by
introducing a new specialized engineering post graduate degree course in Mechatronics under the
School of Mechatronics & Robotics. The course is unique with respect to similar degree programs
offered by other Indian Universities and is framed accordingly to educate graduate engineers to
become experts in the multidisciplinary area involving mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, electronics along with computer software. The School of Mechatronics & Robotics was
established as an interdisciplinary school in 2007. The School undertakes different research and
development activities in the areas of cutting edge technology. The Post Graduate course (M. Tech.)
in Mechatronics has been introduced in collaboration with three reputed National level laboratories
under Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi, namely, Central Electronics
Engineering Research Institute (CEERI), Pilani, Central Scientific Instrument Organization (CSIO),
Chandigarh and Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI), Durgapur. This is a
unique and new initiative for generating trained manpower in the futuristic multi-disciplinary area of
mechatronics. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between IIEST
(formerlyBESU) and CSIR for this purpose in February, 2007. The program is of two years duration
and is conducted by the participating institutes by utilizing their expertise and facilities available.
The programme is structured around the core competence of all the four constituent institutions. The
faculty members have been drawn from all the four places based on the expertise of scientists and
academicians. While the course is conducted at IIEST Shibpur, CEERI, CSIO and CMERI, the
academic degree (M.Tech) is awarded to students by IIEST on successful completion of the course.
The curriculum is designed to provide multidisciplinary knowledge and to endow the students with
the ability to design mechatronics systems.

Central Workshop

391
392
The Central Workshop was developed as a core facility, to carry out practical classes and
mechanical fabrication works as and when required. Down the years, the Workshop
underwent changes in character as well as in the place it occupied in the perception of the
people it was meant to serve, yet it continues to serve a large cross-section of this Institute.
A basic training in central workshops satisfies the requirement for all streams of
engineering during their first or second semester Second year mechanical engineering,
aerospace students; attend the machine shop practice class in workshop.
Workshop extends its facilities to the UG and PG students to carry out fabrication
work of their projects and research activities of PhD students.
The workshop has following well equipped shops: Machine Shop, forging & Welding Shop,
Fitting Shop, Electrical Shop, Carpentry Shop. All shops are well equipped with latest
machinery, material and equipment.
Apart from conventional machines like lathe, milling, shaper, drilling, grinding etc machine
shop under central workshop has CNC machining center, CNC Milling with ATC,
Center-less grinding Machine, Universal milling machine with retrofit. The central
workshop is headed by Superintendent of Workshop.
VISION
In the present age when science and technology form the backbone of industry, a technocrat
is expected to acquire greater level of skills and knowledge. He has to confront the
complexities of competitive manufacturing and very fast development in the design of
machinery and innovations in production methods. Engineering curriculum should therefore
conform to the above need effectively. The main purpose of an engineering workshop is to
provide the basic working knowledge of the production and the properties of different
material used in industry and to appraise the students of basics and applications of various
types of tools, equipments, machinery and techniques used in manufacturing to facilitate
shaping of these materials into useful products and components.
The central workshop should provide a good theoretical background as well as sound
practical hands on practice to a student. The objective of the central workshop is to expose
students to basics of manufacturing as it plays a direct role in improvement of quality of
human life and creating wealth for the nation. This knowledge is highly essential for
pragmatic supervision and control of productive operations in future life
It covers:
 Importance of manufacturing
 Relation between materials and manufacturing
 An overview of manufacturing processes
 Product manufacturing
 Importance of product assembly and inspection
 An overview of manufacturing planning
 Manufacturing automation and computer aided manufacturing for industry.
